SQL Server 2008 extended support ends Jul 9, 2019. Windows Server 2008 extended support ends Jan 14, 2020. Allowing your customers to use platforms that have reached end of service leaves customers open to security risks and compliance issues, as no security updates will be released to these platforms after that date. But we know that it can be hard to upgrade everything before the end of support timeline. To address this need, Tech Data and Microsoft are pleased to announce that Extended Security Updates will be available for free in Azure for 2008 and 2008 R2 versions of SQL Server and Windows Server to help secure your workloads for three more years after the end of support deadline.
